Gill netting

[nelson1 1]

Hi guys, For sometime been thinking on laying my 4 1/2 mesh 100yds multi monofilament net

But unfortunately not sure how to set it up am not completely ignorant to the fact, Just need

abit more advice please, am setting in a Estuary out of the main tidal rip, am sure this area will give me results

No wading involved all by boat

 

Help appreciated, Ian.

Don't ask me

 

If that's your boat In the pic It looks much better than running one out from an inflatable dinghy I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination but I did 100% bagging and tie It off every few mesh. Say 4 mesh for example? 4 mesh= 4x4.5=18 half that = 9 so tie 4 mesh off every 9 inch. Just an example, you may choose to do less mesh or more. I reduced the amount of meshes I picked up when doing the lead line though as I was told It makes running It out easyer and It does. Next time I am going to try making the top hanks smaller too as the float rope tends to get twisted and snagged abit. HTH mate

 

You may want to check my maths too incase I'm wrong....again

I have used a tractor tyre inner-tube in the past mate as a mini trawler

I remember you telling me I prefer to keep dry though and going out In one of them would be the last thing on my mind

Thanks Maty, I think my warrior 165 well up for it not sure about me :wacko:

A net may be rigged with varying degrees of slack, which is primarily regulated by the hanging ratio. The hanging ratio measures how tightly the net is stretched along the head and foot rope. The hanging ratio may vary between the value of all meshes mounted at the same point on the ropes, so the net has no length dimension and a value of 1.0 When the netting is fully stretched out, hanging ratios are normally found between 0.25 and 0.65.with Slackness I could also introduce some vertical snoods between the head and foot rope, and plastic rings provide more buoyancy

Alighter note on my theory this is abit of a heath robinson diagram I know and accept criticism

but shows how I could introduce some vertical snoods between the head and foot rope, To help with the mesh size and weight
